If they just added the ability to jump to a given date in text messages, I'd be happy. That's a long overdue simple feature.

- ryanwaggoner 9y agoHonestly, this sounds like the kind of niche feature that leads to bloatware. I can’t imagine hardly anyone would use this often, and really hope they don’t add it.
- eightysixfour 9y agoThis would not be necessary if search weren’t awful, but as is they need to do one or the other. The inability to look for multiple instances of a word in a single conversation is insane.
- dkonofalski 9y agoThat seems a lot less useful than a functional search for messages. I hate the fact that I can only search for 1 instance of my search within a conversation. There's no way to go to a previous or next instance from the instance that the search feature already found. That sucks.
- Kognito 9y agoThis! The Mac Messages app has the same UI for search and its possible to jump between the found messages using a keyboard shortcut. Makes me wonder if the functionality exists in iOS too but someone forgot to build it into the UI.
- randyrand 9y agoI agree, but perhaps a functional search is asking for too much. I'd be happy with either. If you don't have a good key word to use, then jumping to a date range is the next best thing.
